"Hardest hit is FDA’s foods program, which is generally not funded by user fees. By all accounts, the majority of activity in that program has ground to a halt. In particular, notification programs such as those for GRAS uses of substances, food contact substances, and infant formula have ceased operation, leaving a number of submissions in limbo.
The effects of the shutdown will also be felt in relation to services that are not center-specific. For example, the Division of Dockets Management is shuttered and will remain so indefinitely. It is not clear how, in the interim, any submissions that must be made in person at the Division of Dockets Management will be handled (e.g., original citizen petitions). For routine docket submissions, the regulations.gov website says: "You can still submit comments to agencies using Regulations.gov during the shutdown."
